Reference: E. R. Tattersall, J. M. Burgar, J. T. Fisher, and A. C. Burton. 2020. Mammal seismic line use varies with restoration: Applying habitat restoration to species at risk conservation in a working landscape. Biological Conservation 241:108295 [ER 3462]

Habitat: boreal forest/taiga

Altered habitat: disturbed forest

Protection: unprotected

Substrate: ground surface

Disturbance: selective logging

Habitat comments: "The 570 km2 area is within the western sedimentary basin of the Canadian boreal forest, and contains vegetation cover broadly typical of this region: lowland habitat of mature black spruce and tamarack wetlands, with upland habitat of aspen, white spruce, and jack pine"
"Anthropogenic features were almost exclusively legacy seismic, with a total of 524 km of seismic lines and a linear feature density of 1.1 km/km2"

Life forms: carnivores,rodents,ungulates,other small mammals

Sampling methods: no design,automatic cameras

Sample size: 3054 captures or sightings

Years: 2015 - 2018

Nets or traps: 60

Net or trap nights: 43361

Camera type: digital

Cameras paired: no

Sampling comments: "We randomly selected line segments ... for camera trap sampling locations, deploying a total of 60 Reconyx HyperFire PC900 camera traps (Reconyx, Holman, WI)"
"Camera trap data were collected between November 2015 and November 2018"
"We set each camera trap on a tree at the edge of a seismic line, facing across the line, at a height of approximately 1 m"
"We set up cameras at least 500 m apart to increase the probability of independent detections; in some cases, line segment proximity resulted in cameras ... being less than 500 m apart (minimum distance 338 m)"
"Cameras were programmed to take one image per trigger, with a one second lag between triggers, no quiet periods, and one daily ‘time-lapse’ image at noon to test camera function and record background conditions"
